Happy Holidays!!

This is the time of year when focus on connection with others is paramount in our culture. Let's remember the ingredients for healing the isolation of trauma thereby moving into a full and meaningful life.

The love of a strong support system

A positive sense of the spiritual

A sense of hope that things will get better

Reaching out for help

Taking constructive self-care actions

Performing service for others in order to experience healthy purpose

Covert Emotional Incest: The Hidden Sexual Abuse- A Story of Hope and Healing Due out in late January! Stay tuned! Here’s the first review:

“Adena Bank Lees’ courageous new book, Covert Emotional Incest:The Hidden Sexual Abuse, is an important addition to the field of sexual victimization and psychological trauma for women and male survivors, their families, and psychotherapists. She has not only added a new term to the field, but exquisitely described it in easily understood words. Adena is courageous because she has chosen to tell her own story to help inspire the reader to fully comprehend the complex nature of CEI and its damaging after-effects. Through each step of the book, she shares significant insights to help each reader to name what was done to them and to see how they still may be suffering. Most importantly, Adena shares key steps to healing and serves as a great role model and mentor to any survivor of CEI who needs hope and a path forward.”

Adena captures her audience with humor, personal / professional stories, and an in-depth knowledge of her subject. Not only does she stay current on the latest interventions and research, she is able to present complex information in a very personable and engaging manner. She is an extraordinary presenter and trainer, and I highly recommend her. —Mary K.T., New York
